Dear Mike,

I'm glad you like this. The transcript for beauty.cha was not a
CA one, but the interaction was interesting. The form being displayed
by the browser depends totally on the form submitted by the
contributor. The facility also works over on CHILDES at
childes.psy.cmu.edu with a link in the upper right area. For some

Dear Brian

This is a really good facility. It would be great to see it with a full 'CA' orthographic script, and page layout in CA style. Of course we always want more.....and at the moment this, as you say, an ecellent way to access and browse interactions.

Dear CABankers,
Spencer Sugarman has built a new way of playing back AphasiaBank
interactions over the web direct from your browser. The only catch is
that your browser has to be Firefox and you have to have JavaScript
enabled. However, if you can use Firefox on a broadband connection,

Mike,

Johannes, Lone, Franklin, and I are working to see if we can avoid
some of these
complications. When we manage to do this, we will post the outcome,
along with examples.
I think we all agree that the co-participation indicator is unlikely
to be picked up by
CA people. However, as you say, the best thing would be to get some

Dear Brian

Just a couple of queries:

1. Do you have any examples of what the ouput will look like when one
has CHA>CA'd such a file (or rather section with the new TCU symbols
embedded).

2. It might seem to some ethno/CA people that the conventions are now
extending quite considerably from the initial 'Jeffersonian' set.

Dear CABankers,
In response to work that Johannes Wagner and Lone Laursen are
doing on a gold standard corpus for Danish CA -CHAT transcription, we
have modified three things in CHAT and I am interested in getting
reactions to these changes. Before going into the details, let me
emphasize that Lone and Johannes are trying to avoid breaking up

Dear Brian and Leonid

Just thought I'd let you know that I solved my problems (below) by
adjusting the streaming preferences as you suggested (the connection
speed to LAN/Intranet). Great, and thanks again.

p.s., I have been doing other things since we last spoke of course!

Mike,
You are correct in saying that we can rule out a university-
level firewall. However, it is possible that your OSX 10.5 Mac itself
has different settings from your older Mac. One obvious place to look
is the Security System Preference tab called Firewall. Try allowing
all connections. Also, within QuickTime there are several relevant

Dear CABank users
I wonder if any of you have a problem with the way in which the

Mac (now an iMac running X.5) and when trying to run in 'continuous

Dear CABank,
For years, I have been looking for a good, affordable, fixed-
width Unicode TrueType font for CA transcription. We have been
relying so far on our own fixed-width Unicode font called CAFont, but
this font is only useful for Roman alphabets and it doesn't include
many important symbols which have to be added one by one.

Dear CA People,
I recently received a message from a user transitioning from
using CA Mode in an older version of CLAN to the newer CHAT/CA mode.
I realize that some of you may also be going through this transition.
So, here are my suggestions to her:

Dear CA People,
It seems to me time for a bit of an update on CA-related
TalkBank developments.
1. Over the last two months, some of our emphasis here at CMU has
been on making sure that media are
available for all the TalkBank corpora and that all files with media
can be accessed through CLAN's WebData
